@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Whoops. That's what I get for taking so long to write my post. 😂 That Rule of Rose cover is brilliant. Great pick!

Beast? How dare you.

WanderingBullet

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy I see... Should I swap it with another cover then? I have quite a few more.

@RogerRoger Never played Vagrant Story before but I've always liked that artwork. I also had Katamari Damacy on my shortlist.

@FullbringIchigo Sorry about that. My bad. Not being a Nintendo gamer myself, I didn’t realize the WiiU is actually still in the current gen., along with Switch.

I have corrected the initial post of the rules to reflect that the Wii is actually in the same generation as the PS3, and company.

The main difference is that now Wii games are no longer considered in our “Retro” category. They are to be considered in the next round of “Modern and non-PC games”

My categories are somewhat arbitrary, but I do think that needs to be corrected. Thanks!

@Th3solution yeah it gets confusing because they all release at different times and especially with the Switch, as it's not a console or a handheld but a mix of both so i think it's hard to classify what gen it is hence why they put it in this gen along with the Wii U

"I pity you. You just don't get it at all...there's not a thing I don't cherish!"

"Now! This is it! Now is the time to choose! Die and be free of pain or live and fight your sorrow! Now is the time to shape your stories! Your fate is in your hands!

@Th3solution I will post my favourites tonight when I get some time. Great introduction very professional.

I will muster a tanoy for the Pushsquare members afterwards too.

Are we considering the DS and PSP part of the sixth or seventh generation @Th3solution? I have a few to share but am unsure what round to post in.

Beast? How dare you.

nessisonett

@mookysam Yeah, I just avoided DS and PSP for that reason but others have posted so I’m not sure.

Plumbing’s just Lego innit. Water Lego.

@WanderingBullet As far as the round 2 submissions, let’s hold off for now. We have a submission period for round 2 after voting for round 1 is complete. But if your question is regarding steelbook — yes, by all means - steelbook art is definitely eligible for inclusion.

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Thanks for tracking the submissions Foxy and pointing out duplicates. Yes, if @mookysam and @Wanderingbullet want to replace those dup. with another title, that’s fine with me.

@nessisonett @RogerRoger
And as for handhelds — I think let’s consider Nintendo DS and PSP as part of the 6th generation, so are eligible for this round. Vita and Switch games will be included in round 2. I know the DS and PSP released on the edge of the start of the 7th generation, but for ease of administration, I’m going to consider them round 1, “Retro” material. I know it could be debated, but this makes sense to me.
If people omitted DS and PSP games because of this confusion, then you can start submitting them in your next entries tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up guys! Appreciate the engagement!

@BearsEatBeets For some reason we’re getting a 403 error on your 3rd entry, my friend. See if you can find another link. I love the other submissions though.

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Yeah, I was noticing in my own surfing for covers that disc art can be pretty awesome. I guess we’ll keep it in the back of our minds for a supplemental round maybe.

@BearsEatBeets Perfect. That one works fine.

Alright, Push Squires and Squirettes, the Box Art Poll is well underway. Thanks for the many excellent submissions so far. We are pushing close to 70 already in this round “PC games and Retro games”

You can view all cover art submitted so far here:

https://ibb.co/album/cub9GF

And, silly me, I didn’t realize the Push Square site would actually organize the pictures for us automatically, so you have probably noticed that if you click on one of the image links then it brings up that pic and also the ability to scroll through all the pics that have been linked on that page without having to exit and click each one separately. I didn’t know the site did this automatically, but I’ll still try to load all entries to imgbb if you prefer that method of viewing them. Hopefully I haven’t omitted any by accident.

There are some absolutely fantastic entries so far and I have my early favorites. We’ll keep the polls open for more nominations for approximately 3-4 more days, or until we crash the site, whichever comes first. 😜

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories (GBA/NA)

It's hard to tell in a still image, but it had holographic elements, which is very cool.

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2 (PS2/NA)
https://www.amazon.com/Dragonball-Z-Budokai-2-GameCube/dp/B00...
Again, the background, which appears grey here, is actually that awesome shiny holographic effect.

Kingdom Hearts II (PS2/NA)
https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Kingdom_Hearts_II?file=Kingdom...
By this point I'm sure you can guess what's so special about that seemingly plain background

BTW, where does 3DS stand? I'd assume alongside Vita as modern gen?

Currently Playing:

Th3solution

@RR529 Yes, 3DS game covers will be considered modern gen / round 2, like Vita.

I got your entries loaded in the album, but they aren’t working when you click them here, except for the second one. I think it’s because the link is to the site and not the actual image. But make sure these are the correct three:

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Thanks FGS! I appreciate your help. I need to dub you official polling assistant. 😄 (And thanks @RogerRoger for the offer to assist as well. I might take you up on that as we move along in this project. Great to see you back, it brought joy to my soul!)
As far as poor Klonoa, I’m not sure why I can’t get it to work on the site. It’s strange. I found another image and loaded it from google
https://ibb.co/JHM2qR9
but it’s not as bright as the image you posted, alas it will have to do for now. Truly a hidden gem, that one!

@themcnoisy Thanks, Bro. Love the reference to wheelgate, a real Push Square historical moment. 😂
I hope your tonsillitis, bird flu, corona virus mutant illness is turning around.

@Th3solution, yeah, you got the right three box arts (the only difference is that you picked the EU version of KHII, but it appears to be identical to the NA version, so no issue).
